Optimization design and robust design are significant measures for improving the performance and reliability of electromagnetic devices (EMDs, specifically refer to relays, contactors in this paper). However, the implementation of the above-mentioned design requires substantial calculation; consequently, on the premise of guaranteeing precision, how to improve the calculation speed is a problem that needs to be solved. This paper proposes a new method for establishing an approximate model for the EMD. It builds a relationship between the input and output of the EMD with different coil voltages and air gaps, by using a user-defined interpolating function. The coefficient of the fitting function is determined based on a quantum particle swarm optimization (QPSO) method. The effectiveness of the method proposed in this paper is verified by the electromagnetic force calculation results of an electromagnetic relay with permanent magnet.

This article aimed at broadening the view on 'the concept of function' in furniture design. In this context, we argued that the established concept of furniture function has confined itself to the rational perspective, so that the emotional action and influence of furniture hardly regarded as an important issue in furniture design, and this has been a hinderance to multidirectional discussions on the meaning of furniture in our life. Starting from the investigation on the basis that forms the different dimensions of our experience of furniture, we clarified that we should view the meaning of furniture within a wider sphere where the actions of furniture on our perceptional, behavioral, and emotional levels are inclusively considered. In this light, 'emotional function' of furniture was defined as a concept that explains a multidimensional action of furniture, which leads creative aesthetic experience which enrich the interplays between designer, furniture, and user. The feasibility of the concept has been examined by an analysis on the characteristics of contemporary Art Furniture, which is experimental approaches towards various aesthetic values of art and design. In order to realize emotional function of furniture, furniture should become an experiment for the new perception and emotion; invite more of the user's interplay and action in the meaning-making process; and arouse emotional echoes and reflections within user's mind.

The number of the enterprises which utilize network technology has been increasing for solving problems such as productivity improvement, market trend analysis, and material collection for making decision. Especially, the management of equipment and the recovery time reduction when machines break down are very important factors in productivity improvement of the enterprise. Currently, most of the remote trouble diagnosis of equipment using the internet have just one function of transmitting the trouble information to the user. Therefore it does not directly reflect the user's recovery experience or the developer's new recovery methods. If the user's experienced recovery methods or the developer's recovery methods as well as the basic recovery methods are reflected online or on the internet, it makes it possible to recover faster than before. In this paper, we develop a Remote Monitoring Server (RMS) for chip mounters, and make it possible to reduce the recovery time by reflecting the user's experience and developer's new methods in addition to presenting the basic recovery methods. For this, trouble recovery concept will be defined. Based on this, many functions(trouble diagnosis, the presentation of the basic recovery methods, user's and developer's recovery method, counting function of the trouble number of each code, and presentation of usage number of each recovery methods) were developed. By utilizing the reports of the actual results of chip mounter and the notice function of the parts change time, the rate of operation of the chip mounter can be improved.

In this paper, we provide opportunistic scheduling schemes for elastic services in OFDMA systems with fairness constraints for each user. We adopt the network utility maximization framework in which a utility function is defined for each user to represent its level of satisfaction to the service. Since we consider elastic services whose degree of satisfaction depends on its average data rate, we define the utility function of each user as a function of its average data rate. In addition, for fair resource allocation among users, we define fairness requirements of each user by using utility functions. We first formulate an optimization problem for each fairness requirement that aim at maximizing network utility, which is defined as the sum of utilities of users. We then develop an opportunistic scheduling scheme for each fairness requirement by solving the problem using a dual approach and a stochastic sub-gradient algorithm.

A wireless Internet proxy server cluster has to Distillation and Caching functions in order that a user on wireless internet can use existing wired internet service. Distillation function works to distill HTML documents and included images according to the defined preference by a user. When a user requests repeatedly, Caching function decreases response time by reusing original and distilled images or HTML documents. In this paper, we proposed enhanced distillation and caching functions. We performed experiments using 16 PCs and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed system compared to the existing system.

This study investigates the wargame model application of SCO(Standard Combat Organization) concept and function for the first time. Firstly, we examine the combat organization function of wargame models suggested by published theses and research papers, and then analyze input processes and detail function of GORRAM(Ground Operation Resources Requirement Model) combat organization that is related to wargame logic. Secondly, we also reflect developed SCO algorithm and function, as follows. We defined SCO concept, and developed UI(User Interface) design and algorithm using main functions that are deducted by analyzing of existing combat organization. This algorithm consists of process, SCO, and error check algorithms. Finally, we analyzed the results of statistic verification on input time reduction and user convenience of combat organization function. Therefore, this study contributes to improving input time and user convenience of combat organization, as well as structuring new function of wargame model through the application of SCO concept and function.

A game theoretic approach is applied for studying the energy efficient rate scheduling. The individual utility function is defined first. Then, a non cooperative rate game is modeled in which each user decides the transmission rate to maximize its own utility. The utility function considered here is the consumed energy for the individual user's data transmissions. In particular, using the fact that the utility function is convex, we prove the existence of Nash Equilibrium in the energy efficient rate scheduling problem at hand. Accordingly, a non cooperative scheduling algorithm is provided. For better energy efficiency, the sum of the individual user's utility function is optimized Finally, the convergence analysis and numerical results to show the energy efficiency of the proposed algorithms are provided.

The utilization of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has increased in order to enhance the integration of information for management and resources throughout the construction projects. Therefore, various BIM softwares have been used under open BIM environments in the building and plant construction industry. However, it has obstructive factors due to the lack of interoperability. In order to address this problem, this study conducted an interoperability analysis of BIM software focused on user-defined properties for enhanced function and efficiency. Result of the analysis shows that authoring tools have more interoperability problems than viewer tools and simulation tools have. In terms of interoperability, user-defined properties outperforms than those of system basic properties and logic data. Therefore, it was found that functional improvement and workload minimization in BIM can be attained by applying the GBS (an user-defined property for automatic manipulation of BIM proposed by Jung et al. 2013) that enables automatic link between geometric data and non-geometric data. In this respect, this study concludes that the application of user-defined property (e.g. GBS) can be an effective method for information integration throughout construction projects.
